YOUTHS ORGANIZATION FOR INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS,
P.O BOX 16298 ,
NAKURU , KENYA .

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: PARTNERSHIP IN PLACING VOLUNTEERS IN OUR ORGANIZATION.

Youths Organization is a non governmental, non partisan and non profit making organization. Its goal is to offer services to the Kenyan community, through volunteering, that target and address the most serious issues affecting our community: HIV/AIDS, healthcare and nutrition, environmental conservation, child rights (including the rights of orphans, street children and other vulnerable children), gender based violence, sustainable agriculture, home based care, teaching and training amongst others.

Youths Organization has been established with the following key focuses in mind:

a) To work with Kenyan and international volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life.

b) To reduce the dependency syndrome and help Kenyans become self-sufficient.

c) To give volunteers a rewarding volunteer experience, working on the ground, with people in need.

d) To utilize volunteers to the best of their potential.

e) To ensure that our community, government, private sector, public sector, churches, other volunteer organizations and all of our volunteers world wide can work together in a collaborative, positive and open environment with a view to improving living standards in Kenya.

It is in response to the above need that we write requesting for partnership in placing volunteers in our organization so that we can deliver the targeted social services to the community in an efficient manner. Please visit our website at http://www.youthsinternationalvolunteers.org to help you understand more on what we do.
We look forward to partnering more opportunities with you.

Kindly send us the requirements to partnering with you for the good of the community we serve.

Yours Truly,

Tom Kinyanjui,
Director.

Hi to everyone, I run a Namibian NGO called Elephant Human Relations Aid (EHRA) and we have been running a volunteer project for the last 7 years. We aim to help local communities live without fear and conflict with the local herds of desert adapted elephants. Volunteers help construct large protection walls and then join our staff on elephant patrol, where we track and GPS elephant movements. We really need more volunteers during the months of March – May 2011 so if anyone is interested please please take a look at our site, we pride ourselves in remaining true to the original concept of volunteering and now there are so many projects being run for commercial benefit that its very hard for volunteers to find worthy projects.

Hi,
I am looking at doing a project next summer and I will be 16. I am currently looking at doing a project with either Institute for Field Research Expeditions or Advance Africa as their prices are very reasonable and they have a lot of options. Have any of you done either one of their projects? Do you have any other recommendations?
Let me know
Thanks
